Last week, I was assigned to shoot a portrait of a new swimming coach at a local high school. The day before, I had just lit another portrait with three lights, but this time I tried to see what I could do with a single (direct, since I don’t have an off-camera cord) strobe.

Natrona County assistant swim coach Isaac Kalinowski poses for a portrait Jan. 12, 2012 at Natrona County High School. Kalinowski is also a former standout football player for Narona County, as well as the school’s current tennis coach and art teacher.
